3. AUTHORIZED FEE LIMIT:

The value of the “Total or Gross Sum Bids” combined with the estimated value of all Direct Costs, submitted by the Contractor in the bid, will be the “Authorized Fee Limit” unless unexpected site conditions are encountered or a change in coring methodology is required and is approved by the Engineer. Under these circumstances’ adjustments to the “Authorized Fee Limit” may apply. If the “Approximate Quantity”, indicated on the Bid Sheets, exceeds the amount by up to ten percent (10%), authorization for additional payment by the Inspector in the field will be acceptable. If the “Estimated Duration” for Traffic Person and/or Traffic Control Equipment, indicated on the Bid Sheet, exceeds the amount by up to fifty percent (50%), authorization for additional payment by the Inspector in the field will be acceptable.

The Engineer may accept the compensation proposed by the Contractor, or if he considers the prices submitted to be excessive, he may order the work done on a "Cost Plus" basis as specified hereinafter. In either case, the character and extent of extra work, together with the accepted basis of compensation shall be communicated to the Contractor in writing. If the Engineer orders extra work performed on a "Cost Plus" basis, the Contractor shall perform the same and shall receive in payment therefor an amount equal to the actual net cost in money to him of the materials, wages of applied labor, other direct expense and insurance required for labor, plus 20 percent of the above items and plus such rental for plant and other equipment (other than small tool) as the Engineer deems reasonable, and that amount only. If the work is performed on a unit price basis, there is no markup. No work shall be considered Extra Work unless it has been ordered in writing as such by the Engineer before the said work started, or unless the Contractor shall file a written claim for Extra work with the Engineer within two (2) days from the date of instructions from the Engineer or his representative to proceed with such work.

5. PAYMENT Partial Payment(s): On or about the first day of each calendar month, the Engineer may request the Contractor to furnish information necessary to estimate the value of the work satisfactorily done up to that time. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of this information, the Engineer will request the State to pay him 90% of the value of the work thus estimated, less any previous payments made; and the Engineer, within ten (10) days after receipt of such payment from the State, will pay to the Contractor the amount thus received. Final Payment: Upon verification of the satisfactory completion of all work whatsoever required, the Contractor shall furnish to the Engineer satisfactory evidence that all just liens, claims and demands for rental of equipment, labor and material, arising out of such work, are fully satisfied, and that all of the work is fully released from liens, claims and demands, whether just or otherwise. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such evidence, the Engineer will request the State to pay him the total value of all work satisfactorily done, less any payments previously made, and within ten (10) days of receipt of this Final Payment from the State, the Engineer will pay to the Contractor all amounts still outstanding and due him. All prior estimates and payments shall be subject to correction in this payment, which is throughout this Contract called the Final Payment.

7. MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT No modification of or change in this Contract shall be valid or enforceable against either of the parties unless it is in writing and signed by the parties or their duly authorized representatives.

8. DEFAULT OF CONTRACT When, in the opinion of the Engineer, the project or any part thereof has been abandoned, or the Contractor is willfully violating any of the covenants of this Contract, then the Engineer may declare the Contractor in default of the Contract and notify him to discontinue the project.

If the default, in “CME’s” view, will take longer than two weeks to cure or if the default places “CME” or “the Sub-consultant” in violation of the law or the “Contract” requirements, no opportunity to cure the default shall be required. Upon termination with cause, “the Sub-consultant” shall be due payment for the percentage of work completed by “the Sub-consultant” at the time the notice is given less the amount needed to cure the default. No other profit or compensation shall be due to “the Sub-consultant” for termination with cause.

10. COMMENCEMENT OF WORK Subject to weather and/or safe navigation circumstances and/or delays receiving required permits, the Contractor agrees to mobilize and actually start work on the Contract within twenty-one (21) consecutive calendar days from the date of the written notice to proceed. Failure to start the work within this timeframe will be considered a breach of this contract and may be cause for collection of the monies in the Performance and Payment bonds for completion of the work by others, unless the delayed start is authorized by the Engineer in writing.

11. PERFORMANCE CONTRACT BOND AND PAYMENT BOND The successful Bidder, at the time of the execution of the contract, shall deposit with the Engineer, a surety company bond for the satisfactory completion of the work and a surety company bond for the payment of all debts pertaining to materials, rental of equipment, and labor used or employed in the execution of the Contract.

The Engineer will bear no responsibility for the accuracy or suitability of subsurface information made available for examination and the conditions indicated by such information shall not be used by the Contractor as possible cause for subsequent revisions or waivers in the Contract.

14. NON-LIABILITY OF THE STATE AND ENGINEER'S REPRESENTATIVES No agents or employees of the Engineer, the State of Connecticut, all officers, agents and servants of the State of Connecticut, Commissioner of Transportation and his successors, shall be charged personally by the Contractor with any liability or held liable to him, under any terms or provisions of this Contract or because of its execution or attempted execution, or because of any breach thereof.

III-5

Should the Contractor continue to employ or again employ such person or persons, the Engineer may withhold all payments, which are due or become due, or the Engineer may suspend the work until such orders are complied with.

2-9 Line and Grade Line and grade for the entire work will be established and laid out by the Engineer or Inspector. The Contractor shall execute the work to such line and grade. 2-10 Pavement Coring – 4” Diameter At each location indicated on the plans, the Contractor shall take a continuous core specimen of the pavement to the depth of the granular subbase, or as directed by the Engineer, by means of a rotary method and a bit of such size as to yield a 4" diameter pavement core. The core bit shall be started at the pavement surface and the pavement shall be cored until the bit reaches granular subbase material. When the coring is complete, the pavement core shall be withdrawn, labeled and stored before drilling is begun at another location. The Engineer reserves the right to reduce the length of core run as necessary to effect maximum recovery. Upon removal of the pavement core, the Inspector shall be given access to the core hole in order to make a visual assessment of the subbase and measure the depth of the hole. The Contractor shall aid the Inspector in physically locating the core hole by means of 3 swing ties to prominent physical features located on the project survey. Following the Inspector’s assessment, the core hole shall be patched with bituminous concrete as described below. Core specimens shall be carefully handled and clearly labeled with a permanent marking to insure their proper identification. If the core specimen cannot be withdrawn from the hole as a continuous core specimen, then they shall be extracted in order and labeled sequentially and placed in a container in the order in which they are removed from the hole. The coring method and equipment may need be adjusted according to the field conditions, if pavement core specimens cannot be extracted as continuous specimens. The Contractor shall notify the Inspector if concrete pavement (most likely with steel reinforcing bars) is encountered under the bituminous concrete, and the coring must continue to the full thickness of the concrete pavement and until the underlying granular subbase is reached.

IV-10

Each pavement core specimen shall be placed in a suitable cardboard box. Pavement cores specimens shall be clearly labeled and arranged neatly in the boxes in the sequence in which the material was removed from the hole. The boxes shall be labeled showing the date the core was taken, town, road name, project number, coring number, depth of core, Contractor and Driller names.

2-11 Abandoned Core Holes Should the hole be abandoned without the permission of the Inspector, or should a core hole be started and for any reason not be carried to the depth required by the Inspector, or should the Contractor fail to allow the Inspector to make complete records of materials encountered, or to furnish the Inspector the required core specimens, then the Contractor will make an additional core hole at a location selected by the Inspector, and no payment will be made for either the abandoned hole or any core specimens obtained therein. However, the Contractor will make a record of abandoned core holes and note thereon the reasons for the abandonment.

2-12 Core Hole Patching

Each core hole shall be patched in accordance with the requirements of the Encroachment Permit. At the discretion of the CTDOT District that issues the Encroachment Permit or the Town, all core holes will require either hot-mix or cold-mix patching. Hot-Mix Patching The Encroachment Permit, obtained for the project may require that all core holes be patched in kind with hot-mix bituminous concrete, of the same depth as the adjacent pavement. The mix shall have an aggregate size and asphalt content similar to the ConnDOT HMA S0.5 mix or as required by the Encroachment Permit. The pavement within the core hole will be compacted in 3 inch lifts by repeated tamping with a 3.5 inch diameter implement and substantial force. The final lift will be placed to approximately ½ inch above the adjacent pavement but shall not be thicker than 3 inches total. The final lift shall be compacted by repeated tamping with an implement which includes a flat plate, with a minimum dimension of 8 inches in any direction, and with substantial force in order to compact the top of the patching material to approximately flush with the adjacent pavement surface. The Contractor shall make certain that hot-mix bituminous concrete is available at the time of year for which the work is to be completed. Cold-Mix Patching The Encroachment Permit, obtained for the project may allow for all core holes to be patched using a high-performance cold-mix compound such as Aquaphalt®, or approved equal, of the same depth as the adjacent pavement. The cold-mix compound shall be applied per the Manufacturer recommendations and shall have the top of the patch approximately flush with the adjacent pavement surface.

2-13 Standby Time Certain projects may require the Contractor to suspend operations during the normal work day, after work has already begun for the day, due to unexpected restricted working hours imposed by the Department or Town or for other reasons such as: traffic related issues (including air and rail traffic), unexpected weather conditions, or other conditions. When the work is on site of an active construction project, there may be instances that periodically require that the Contractor temporarily stop the coring operations. When a

IV-11

stoppage of work occurs for any reason, it will be determined by the Engineer as to whether or not it qualifies as Standby Time. Standby Time will not be paid when a full scheduled work day cannot be performed due to predicted adverse weather conditions, lack of qualified laborers/operators or equipment breakdown. Should the State or Engineer deem the equipment or workers to be unsafe, no Standby Time will be paid for the Contractor to furnish replacement workers or equipment. Standby Time will not be paid to assemble or remove a traffic control pattern. If more than one (1) drill rig is being used on a project this item will be paid per hour per drill rig when applicable, as determined by the Engineer.

V-4

CORE HOLE WORK PLAN (TO BE PROVIDED BY CONTRACTOR AFTER SELECTION)

TRAFFIC CONTROL DURING CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS

The following guidelines shall assist field personnel in determining when and what type of traffic

control patterns to use for various situations. These guidelines shall provide for the safe and

efficient movement of traffic through work zones and enhance the safety of work forces in the

work area.

TRAFFIC CONTROL PATTERNS

Traffic control patterns shall be used when a work operation requires that all or part of any

vehicle or work area protrudes onto any part of a travel lane or shoulder. For each situation, the

installation of traffic control devices shall be based on the following:

Speed and volume of traffic

Duration of operation

Exposure to hazards

Traffic control patterns shall be uniform, neat and orderly so as to command respect from the

motorist.

In the case of a horizontal or vertical sight restriction in advance of the work area, the traffic

control pattern shall be extended to provide adequate sight distance for approaching traffic.

If a lane reduction taper is required to shift traffic, the entire length of the taper should be

installed on a tangent section of roadway so that the entire taper area can be seen by the motorist.

Any existing signs that are in conflict with the traffic control patterns shall be removed, covered,

or turned so that they are not readable by oncoming traffic.

When installing a traffic control pattern, a Buffer Area should be provided and this area shall be

free of equipment, workers, materials and parked vehicles.

Typical traffic control plans 19 through 25 may be used for moving operations such as line

striping, pot hole patching, mowing, or sweeping when it is necessary for equipment to occupy a

travel lane.

Traffic control patterns will not be required when vehicles are on an emergency patrol type

activity or when a short duration stop is made and the equipment can be contained within the

shoulder. Flashing lights and appropriate trafficperson shall be used when required.

Although each situation must be dealt with individually, conformity with the typical traffic

control plans contained herein is required. In a situation not adequately covered by the typical

traffic control plans, the Contractor must contact the Engineer for assistance prior to setting up a

traffic control pattern.

Rev. Date 5/18/2018

ITEM #0971001A 2

PLACEMENT OF SIGNS

Signs must be placed in such a position to allow motorists the opportunity to reduce their speed

prior to the work area. Signs shall be installed on the same side of the roadway as the work area.

On multi-lane divided highways, advance warning signs shall be installed on both sides of the

highway. On directional roadways (on-ramps, off-ramps, one-way roads), where the sight

distance to signs is restricted, these signs should be installed on both sides of the roadway.

ALLOWABLE ADJUSTMENT OF SIGNS AND DEVICES SHOWN ON THE TRAFFIC

CONTROL PLANS

The traffic control plans contained herein show the location and spacing of signs and devices

under ideal conditions. Signs and devices should be installed as shown on these plans whenever

possible.

The proper application of the traffic control plans and installation of traffic control devices

depends on actual field conditions.

Adjustments to the traffic control plans shall be made only at the direction of the Engineer to

improve the visibility of the signs and devices and to better control traffic operations.

Adjustments to the traffic control plans shall be based on safety of work forces and motorists,

abutting property requirements, driveways, side roads, and the vertical and horizontal curvature

of the roadway.

The Engineer may require that the traffic control pattern be located significantly in advance of

the work area to provide better sight line to the signing and safer traffic operations through the

work zone.

Table I indicates the minimum taper length required for a lane closure based on the posted speed

limit of the roadway. These taper lengths shall only be used when the recommended taper

lengths shown on the traffic control plans cannot be achieved.

SECTION 1. WORK ZONE SAFETY MEETINGS

1.a) Prior to the commencement of work, a work zone safety meeting will be conducted with

representatives of DOT Construction, Connecticut State Police (Local Barracks),

Municipal Police, the Contractor (Project Superintendent) and the Traffic Control

Subcontractor (if different than the prime Contractor) to review the traffic operations,

lines of responsibility, and operating guidelines which will be used on the project. Other

work zone safety meetings during the course of the project should be scheduled as

needed.

1.b) A Work Zone Safety Meeting Agenda shall be developed and used at the meeting to

outline the anticipated traffic control issues during the construction of this project. Any

issues that can’t be resolved at these meetings will be brought to the attention of the

District Engineer and the Office of Construction. The agenda should include:

Review Project scope of work and time

Review Section 1.08, Prosecution and Progress

Review Section 9.70, Trafficpersons

Review Section 9.71, Maintenance and Protection of Traffic

Review Contractor’s schedule and method of operations.

Review areas of special concern: ramps, turning roadways, medians, lane drops, etc.

Open discussion of work zone questions and issues

Discussion of review and approval process for changes in contract requirements as they

relate to work zone areas

SECTION 2. GENERAL

2.a) If the required minimum number of signs and equipment (i.e. one High Mounted

Internally Illuminated Flashing Arrow for each lane closed, two TMAs, Changeable

Message Sign, etc.) are not available; the traffic control pattern shall not be installed.

2.b) The Contractor shall have back-up equipment (TMAs, High Mounted Internally

Illuminated Flashing Arrow, Changeable Message Sign, construction signs, cones/drums,

etc.) available at all times in case of mechanical failures, etc. The only exception to this

is in the case of sudden equipment breakdowns in which the pattern may be installed but

the Contractor must provide replacement equipment within 24 hours.

2.c) Failure of the Contractor to have the required minimum number of signs, personnel and

equipment, which results in the pattern not being installed, shall not be a reason for a time

extension or claim for loss time.

2.d) In cases of legitimate differences of opinion between the Contractor and the Inspection

staff, the Inspection staff shall err on the side of safety. The matter shall be brought to

Rev. Date 5/18/2018

ITEM #0971001A 4

the District Office for resolution immediately or, in the case of work after regular

business hours, on the next business day.

SECTION 3. INSTALLING AND REMOVING TRAFFIC CONTROL PATTERNS

3.a) Lane Closures shall be installed beginning with the advance warning signs and

proceeding forward toward the work area.

3.b) Lane Closures shall be removed in the reverse order, beginning at the work area, or end

of the traffic control pattern, and proceeding back toward the advance warning signs.

3.c) Stopping traffic may be allowed:

As per the contract for such activities as blasting, steel erection, etc.

During paving, milling operations, etc. where, in the middle of the operation, it is

necessary to flip the pattern to complete the operation on the other half of the

roadway and traffic should not travel across the longitudinal joint or difference in

roadway elevation.

To move slow moving equipment across live traffic lanes into the work area.

3.d) Temporary road closures using Rolling Road Blocks (RRB) may be allowed on limited

access highways for operations associated with the installation and removal of temporary

lane closures. RRB may be allowed for the installation and removal of lead signs and

lane tapers only and shall meet the following requirements:

• RRB may not start prior to the time allowed in the contract Limitations of Operation

for sign pattern installation. Sign pattern removal must be complete prior to the time

indicated in the Limitations of Operation for restoring the lanes to traffic.

• On limited access highways with 4 lanes or more, a RRB may not start until the

Limitations of Operation Chart allows a 2 lane closure. In areas with good sight lines

and full shoulders, opposite side lead signs should be installed in a separate operation.

• Truck-Mounted Impact Attenuators (TMAs) equipped with arrow boards shall be

used to slow traffic to implement the RRB. State Police Officers in marked vehicles

may be used to support the implementation of the RRB. The RRB shall start by

having all vehicles, including Truck-Mounted Impact Attenuators TMAs and police

vehicles leave the shoulder or on-ramp and accelerate to a normal roadway speeds in

each lane, then the vehicles will position themselves side by side and decelerate to

the RRB speed on the highway.

• An additional Truck-Mounted Impact Attenuator TMAs equipped with a Portable

Changeable Message Sign shall be utilized to advise the motorists that sign pattern

installation / removal is underway. The Pre-Warning Vehicle (PWV) should be

initially positioned in the right shoulder ½ mile prior to the RRB operation. If a

traffic queue reaches the PWV’s initial location, the contractor shall slowly reverse

the PWV along the shoulder to position itself prior to the new back of queue. A Pre-

Rev. Date 5/18/2018

ITEM #0971001A 5

Warning Vehicle, as specified elsewhere in the contract, shall be utilized to advise the

motorists that sign pattern installation / removal is underway.

• The RRB duration shall not exceed 15 minutes from start of the traffic block until all

lanes are opened as designated in the Limitation of Operation chart. If the RRB

duration exceeds 15 minutes on 2 successive shifts, no further RRB will be allowed

until the Contractor obtains approval for a revised installation procedure from the

respective construction District.

• RRB should not be utilized to expand a lane closure pattern to an additional lane

during the shift. The workers and equipment required to implement the additional

lane closure should be staged from within the closed lane. Attenuator trucks (and

State Police if available) should be used to protect the workers installing the taper in

the additional lane.

• Exceptions to these work procedures may be submitted to the District Office for

consideration. A minimum of 2 business days should be allowed for review and

approval by the District.

• The RRB procedures (including any approved exceptions) will be reviewed and

discussed by the inspection team and the Contractor in advance of the work. The

implementation of the agreed upon plan will be reviewed with the State Police during

the Work Zone Safety meeting held before each shift involving temporary lane

closures. If the State Police determine that alternative procedures should be

implemented for traffic control during the work shift, the Department and Contractor

will attempt to resolve any discrepancies with the duty sergeant at the Troop. If the

discrepancies are unable to be resolved prior to the start of the shift, the work will

proceed as recommended by the Department Trooper. Any unresolved issues will be

addressed the following day.

3.e) The Contractor must adhere to using the proper signs, placing the signs correctly, and

ensuring the proper spacing of signs.

3.f) Additional devices are required on entrance ramps, exit ramps, and intersecting roads to

warn and/or move traffic into the proper travelpath prior to merging/exiting with/from the

main line traffic. This shall be completed before installing the mainline pattern past the

ramp or intersecting roadway.

3.g) Prior to installing a pattern, any conflicting existing signs shall be covered with an

opaque material. Once the pattern is removed, the existing signs shall be uncovered.

3.h) On limited access roadways, workers are prohibited from crossing the travel lanes to

install and remove signs or other devices on the opposite side of the roadway. Any signs

or devices on the opposite side of the roadway shall be installed and removed separately.

SECTION 4. USE OF HIGH MOUNTED INTERNALLY ILLUMINATED FLASHING

ARROW

Rev. Date 5/18/2018

ITEM #0971001A 6

4.a) On limited access roadways, one Flashing Arrow shall be used for each lane that is

closed. The Flashing Arrow shall be installed concurrently with the installation of the

traffic control pattern and its placement shall be as shown on the traffic control plan. For

multiple lane closures, one Flashing Arrow is required for each lane closed. If conditions

warrant, additional Flashing Arrows should be employed (i.e.: curves, major ramps, etc.).

4.b) On non-limited access roadways, the use of a Flashing Arrow for lane closures is

optional. The roadway geometry, sight line distance, and traffic volume should be

considered in the decision to use the Flashing Arrow.

4.c) The Flashing Arrow shall not be used on two lane, two-way roadways for temporary

alternating one-way traffic operations.

4.d) The Flashing Arrow board display shall be in the “arrow” mode for lane closure tapers

and in the “caution” mode (four corners) for shoulder work, blocking the shoulder, or

roadside work near the shoulder. The Flashing Arrow shall be in the “caution” mode

when it is positioned in the closed lane.

4.e) The Flashing Arrow shall not be used on a multi-lane roadway to laterally shift all lanes

of traffic, because unnecessary lane changing may result.

SECTION 5. USE OF TRUCK MOUNTED OR TRAILER MOUNTED IMPACT

ATTENUATOR VEHICLES (TMAs)

5.a) For lane closures on limited access roadways, a minimum of two TMAs shall be used to

install and remove traffic control patterns. If two TMAs are not available, the pattern

shall not be installed.

5.b) On non-limited access roadways, the use of TMAs to install and remove patterns closing

a lane(s) is optional. The roadway geometry, sight line distance, and traffic volume

should be considered in the decision to utilize the TMAs.

5.c) Generally, to establish the advance and transition signing, one TMA shall be placed on

the shoulder and the second TMA shall be approximately 1,000 feet ahead blocking the

lane. The flashing arrow board mounted on the TMA should be in the “flashing arrow”

mode when taking the lane. The sign truck and workers should be immediately ahead of

the second TMA. In no case shall the TMA be used as the sign truck or a work truck.

Once the transition is in place, the TMAs shall travel in the closed lane until all

Changeable Message Signs, signs, Flashing Arrows, and cones/drums are installed. The

flashing arrow board mounted on the TMA should be in the “caution” mode when

traveling in the closed lane.

5.d) A TMA shall be placed prior to the first work area in the pattern. If there are multiple

work areas within the same pattern, then additional TMAs shall be positioned at each

Rev. Date 5/18/2018

ITEM #0971001A 7

additional work area as needed. The flashing arrow board mounted on the TMA should

be in the “caution” mode when in the closed lane.

5.e) TMAs shall be positioned a sufficient distance prior to the workers or equipment being

protected to allow for appropriate vehicle roll-ahead in the event that the TMA is hit, but

not so far that an errant vehicle could travel around the TMA and into the work area. For

additional placement and use details, refer to the specification entitled “Truck-Mounted

or Trailer-Mounted Impact Attenuator”. Some operations, such as paving and concrete

repairs, do not allow for placement of the TMA(s) within the specified distances. In

these situations, the TMA(s) should be placed at the beginning of the work area and shall

be advanced as the paving or concrete operations proceed.

5.f) TMAs should be paid in accordance with how the unit is utilized. If it is used as a TMA

and is in the proper location as specified, then it should be paid at the specified hourly

rate for “Truck-Mounted or Trailer-Mounted Impact Attenuator”. When the TMA is

used as a Flashing Arrow, it should be paid at the daily rate for “High Mounted Internally

Illuminated Flashing Arrow”. If a TMA is used to install and remove a pattern and is

also used as a Flashing Arrow in the same day, then the unit should be paid as a “Truck-

Mounted or Trailer-Mounted Impact Attenuator” for the hours used to install and remove

the pattern, typically 2 hours (1 hour to install and 1 hour to remove). If the TMA is also

used as a Flashing Arrow during the same day, then the unit should be paid at the daily

rate as a “High Mounted Internally Illuminated Flashing Arrow”.

SECTION 6. USE OF TRAFFIC DRUMS AND TRAFFIC CONES

6.a) Traffic drums shall be used for taper channelization on limited-access roadways, ramps,

and turning roadways and to delineate raised catch basins and other hazards.

6.b) Traffic drums shall be used in place of traffic cones in traffic control patterns that are in

effect for more than a 36-hour duration.

6.c) Traffic Cones less than 42 inches in height shall not be used on limited-access roadways

or on non-limited access roadways with a posted speed limit of 45 mph and above.

6.d) Typical spacing of traffic drums and/or cones shown on the Traffic Control Plans in the

Contract are maximum spacings and may be reduced to meet actual field conditions as

required.

SECTION 7. USE OF (REMOTE CONTROLLED) CHANGEABLE MESSAGE SIGNS

(CMS)

7.a) For lane closures on limited access roadways, one CMS shall be used in advance of the

traffic control pattern. Prior to installing the pattern, the CMS shall be installed and in

operation, displaying the appropriate lane closure information (i.e.: Left Lane Closed -

Merge Right). The CMS shall be positioned ½ - 1 mile ahead of the lane closure taper. If

the nearest Exit ramp is greater than the specified ½ - 1 mile distance, than an additional

CMS shall be positioned a sufficient distance ahead of the Exit ramp to alert motorists to

the work and therefore offer them an opportunity to take the exit.

7.b) CMS should not be installed within 1000 feet of an existing CMS.

7.c) On non-limited access roadways, the use of CMS for lane closures is optional. The

roadway geometry, sight line distance, and traffic volume should be considered in the

decision to use the CMS.

7.d) The advance CMS is typically placed off the right shoulder, 5 feet from the edge of

pavement. In areas where the CMS cannot be placed beyond the edge of pavement, it

may be placed on the paved shoulder with a minimum of five (5) traffic drums placed in

a taper in front of it to delineate its position. The advance CMS shall be adequately

protected if it is used for a continuous duration of 36 hours or more.

7.e) When the CMS are no longer required, they should be removed from the clear zone and

have the display screen cleared and turned 90 away from the roadway.

7.f) The CMS generally should not be used for generic messages (ex: Road Work Ahead,

Bump Ahead, Gravel Road, etc.).

7.g) The CMS should be used for specific situations that need to command the motorist’s

attention which cannot be conveyed with standard construction signs (Examples include:

Exit 34 Closed Sat/Sun - Use Exit 35, All Lanes Closed - Use Shoulder, Workers on

Road - Slow Down).

7.h) Messages that need to be displayed for long periods of time, such as during stage

construction, should be displayed with construction signs. For special signs, please

coordinate with the Office of Construction and the Division of Traffic Engineering for

the proper layout/dimensions required.

7.i) The messages that are allowed on the CMS are as follows:

SECTION 8. USE OF STATE POLICE OFFICERS

8.a) State Police may be utilized only on limited access highways and secondary roadways

under their primary jurisdiction. One Officer may be used per critical sign pattern.

Shoulder closures and right lane closures can generally be implemented without the

presence of a State Police Officer. Likewise in areas with moderate traffic and wide,

unobstructed medians, left lane closures can be implemented without State Police

presence. Under some situations it may be desirable to have State Police presence, when

one is available. Examples of this include: nighttime lane closures; left lane closures

with minimal width for setting up advance signs and staging; lane and shoulder closures

on turning roadways/ramps or mainline where sight distance is minimal; and closures

where extensive turning movements or traffic congestion regularly occur, however they

are not required.

8.b) Once the pattern is in place, the State Police Officer should be positioned in a non-

hazardous location in advance of the pattern If traffic backs up beyond the beginning of

the pattern, then the State Police Officer shall be repositioned prior to the backup to give

warning to the oncoming motorists. The State Police Officer and TMA should not be in

proximity to each other.

8.c) Other functions of the State Police Officer(s) may include:

• Assisting entering/exiting construction vehicles within the work area.

• Enforcement of speed and other motor vehicle laws within the work area, if

specifically requested by the project.

8.d) State Police Officers assigned to a work site are to only take direction from the Engineer.
